Magazine Review Excerpts
Mix Magazine
(Dave Tosti-Lane, July 1997)
"I found the effects to be very high quality, and would not hesitate to use them in any project. I'd have to say that the DSP·FX system is a solid investment and a solid addition to the studio."
Designated a Product Hit of NAMM 1996 Convention

Electronic Musician Magazine
(review by Zack Price, January 1997)
"I really like this product. I am impressed with how it sounds...All the plug-ins are highly useful, and working with them is a piece of cake."
Audio Quality Rating: 5 (highest rating)

Sound On Sound Magazine
(review by Dominic Hawken, January 1997)
"Effect editing is a simple process...The sonic quality is extremely high. The reverb plug-in has a remarkable depth and clarity, is extremely realistic and really has to be heard to be believed... Highly recommended for any digital studio."

Audio Media Magazine
(review by Jeff Mac)
"This is great...It is definitely going on the most wanted list for my studio."

Recording Magazine
(review by Dave Martin, November 1996)
"The reverbs are dense and smooth, the chorus algorithm is almost silky, and the flange sounds like real tape flanging, as opposed to a digital effect...DSP·FX sounds great...a viable alternative to the better known high end processors, AMS, Lexicon and T.C. Electronics."

EQ Magazine
(review by Wade McGregor, October 1996)
"Excellent true stereo effects, very low noise floor, hugely expandable, DSP·FX provides a visual interface which is extremely easy to use and shows everything you need to know about the parameters in a single glance."

Radio World Magazine
(review by Bruce and Jenny Bartlett, October 16, 1996)
"The sound quality of the effects is excellent. DSP·FX is a well-executed package that offers many advantages over conventional effects boxes."

Pro Audio Review
(review by Loren Alldrin)
"If you're after realism, DSP·FX has it in droves... This was the first time my brain has been completely fooled by a reverb simulation...The software seems rock-solid."
